Shi Han replied, "Dad, I took Xiaoya to the dock where I used to work as a tracker pulling boats. I took Xiaoya there and took a look at the place where I used to work."

Thinking of the dock, there should be no comfortable houses to live in there, and this boy should not take Xiaoya out to cause trouble, and Wen Jin felt relieved.

And Wen Ya's thoughts had already flown away.

When she first saw the sugar cane, she thought it was all just money.

"Dad, do you still have these sugar canes?"

"Is there only one cart like this? Is there sugar cane grown near the quarry?"

Shi Han had never seen Wen Ya so interested in sugar cane. In her last life, when she lived in Lingnan for a long time, Wen Ya never ate sugar cane.

They say sugarcane is troublesome to eat, you have to spit out the residue, and it tastes cloyingly sweet.

But now...

"Oh, it was probably planted near the quarry. I don't know exactly where the soldiers got it from."

Wen Jin didn't know where sugar cane was grown, but Shi Han should know. Wen Ya's eyes lit up again. She turned to look at Shi Han, "Do you know where sugar cane is grown in Lingnan?"

Shi Han really knew, he said, "There is a sugar cane field near the dock. When did you like to eat sugar cane? What? This cart of sugar cane is not enough for you?"

Wen Ya didn't want to explain to him now, as long as the thing was made, it would definitely amaze them.

"Anyway, I'm useful. If you know where there is a lot of sugar cane, you can pull another cart for me."

Wen Ya is confident that she will be able to make sugar from sugar cane.

You must know that sugar has been an important trading commodity throughout the ages. In this world, Wen Ya has not seen white sugar yet. The sugar jar in the kitchen contains brown sugar, which does not taste sweet enough and is not pure in color.

Moreover, the price of sugar is much more expensive than salt. In ancient times, only those with rich families and nobles would buy it. If she could make white sugar, she would definitely make a fortune.

With money, she didn't have to worry about her reputation as a prisoner, so she could use the money to move around. She didn't even have to rely entirely on Shi Han to overturn the case for the Hou Mansion.

Seeing the way to make money right in front of her, how could Wen Ya let it go.

"You are really weird now. Why do you want sugar cane all of a sudden? Wen Ya, what are you trying to do?"

It was her idea, indeed, that sugar cane was not valuable in Lingnan. People who liked it could eat more of it, and people who didn't like it would use it as firewood.

But no one has ever wanted to store more.

"I'm telling you, those who grow sweet sugar cane here, be careful if you eat too much, it will knock your teeth out."

Wen Ya doesn't care, she doesn't really like it.

"Oh, you might as well go now and bring me another cart of sugar cane."

Wen Ya was about to drive Shi Han away. Wen Jin on the side had no idea what his daughter was going to do. It wasn't until Shi Han left that he asked, "Xiao Ya, are you going to make something with the sugar cane? You're not going to eat it." Bar!"

Sure enough, Wen Jin still understood her.

Wen Ya nodded, "Dad, sugar cane can be used to make sugar. Once the sugar is made, it can be sold for money. We can take care of the relationship. I also want to reverse the case for dad."

Wen Jin felt very sour when he heard this. His daughter actually cared about him so much, but as a father, he couldn't give his daughter anything.

"Xiaoya, what do you need to make sugar? Dad will help you get it."

Wen Ya thought about it in her mind. If she wanted to make white sugar, she had to make sucrose first.

Moreover, a large amount of sugar cane is definitely needed to boil sucrose. Among them, the most difficult step is to extract the juice.

Peeling all the sugar cane is also a big project.

However, with Wen Jin and Shi Han here, there was no need to worry about this step. After peeling the sugarcane, crushing it with a stone to squeeze out the juice was always a laborious task.

Put the squeezed sugar cane juice into a pot, boil it over low heat to form syrup, and put the syrup into a mold to cool, which is sucrose.

After the sucrose is prepared, there is still a very difficult step.

It is to decolorize sucrose. The boiled sucrose will turn red in color and turn into granular crystal white white sugar. It must be decolorized.

However, Wen Ya had a rule in mind, and she knew the steps for decolorizing white sugar.

"Dad, when Shi Han comes back, you and he will peel all the sugar cane today and use a stone mill to squeeze the juice."

"I just want sugar cane juice. You don't need to do anything else."

Wen Jin nodded and went to work. Lu Meiniang also came out to help. The couple held knives together and cut sugar cane in the yard.

Wen Ya went into the kitchen, cleaned the iron pot on the stove, and prepared for boiling the syrup.

It was getting dark, and not all the sugar cane on the cart had been peeled. Wen Ya took the peeled sugar cane and squeezed the juice with a stone mill alone. She took the lead in the kitchen and started boiling syrup.

Wen Jin and Lu Meiniang were a little tired, so they went back to the house to sleep.

Shi Yue gnawed sugar cane and accompanied Wen Ya in the kitchen, and her little head began to doze off little by little.

Wen Ya carried Shi Yue back to her house, and the little girl fell asleep.

She just returned to the kitchen and saw Shi Han pulling another cart back with a pile of sugar cane.

"I brought all the sugar cane back to you. I even picked out the good-looking ones and didn't take the rotten sugar cane."

Shi Han said casually. In fact, he still spent a lot of effort picking these sugar canes.

"Okay, you can put it in the yard."

Wen Ya walked into the kitchen, and Shi Han followed.

"Are they all asleep?"

Wen Ya nodded, and Shi Han took the opportunity to sit next to her. The two of them were in front of the stove. Wen Ya was lighting the fire with a pair of tongs. Shi Han pinched her armpits with his hands and used a little force to lift her into his arms.

The bench in front of the stove was thin and narrow, and Wen Ya was worried that the weight of the two of them would crush the bench.

She struggled to get down, but Shi Han held her tightly and said nonchalantly: "It's cold, hold her and sit for a while to keep warm."

"The stool collapsed in a moment."

Moreover, this was the gap between the stove and the wall, which was not spacious. Shi Han was holding her, and the man's legs were stiff, making it uncomfortable for her to sit.

Shi Han held her waist tightly and ignored her protest, "Are you making sugar?"

"It's so sweet, my whole body is filled with sweetness."

The warm fire in the kitchen combined with the sweet smell floating in the pot made Shi Han feel excited. Moreover, he also roughly understood what Wen Ya was going to do, which was making sugar.

"It's just boiling sugar. I want to make white sugar."

Shi Han had never heard of white sugar, so he didn't know where she came up with the idea. In short, as long as she didn't mess around, Shi Han didn't object.

After a while, his mouth kissed Wen Ya's neck, and slowly moved to his lips.

For a moment, ambiguity suddenly arose in the kitchen.
